    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Daphne in stasis again

It's becoming a routine with her.

OH last saw her eat around 7:30/8am.
I've just come home and she's cold, clearly uncomfortable and refusing food.

Given her some metacam as that is our usual step with her. Been about 20 mins... will give a little longer but looks like we will be at the vets tonight :(

Come on, Daphne, you need to eat. I hope that she starts eating soon, that the metacam works, and she gets back to normal soon. x

Hope you don't need the vets. Poor girlie :(

Love and hugs xx
 
Saying prayers that sweet daphne is ok. Poor baby girl, at least she has a mummy who is quick acting and loves her. Vibes for you too, you must be a nervous wreck. Xxx
 
Vet appointment said early stages stasis. No visible pain on palpation, soft normal feeling gut with some faeces ready to come out but not much else in there.

Get home and give her the gut meds after 30 mins she's cold again and not interested in food at all.

I force 5ml syringe feed which was an intense struggle otherwise I'd have wanted at least 20ml. Tempting with grass, thyme, brambles, cranberries.

She's doing a weird behaviour which I would appreciate opinions on. I didn't mention it to vet as I just thought it was tummy pressing to begin with but now I think otherwise - possible EC?

She's tummy pressing and stretching her back legs right out behind her... nothing too odd but then she's trying to turn around like this or tries to walk away like this taking a few moments to right her legs. She also appears to prefer being wedged between items or in a storage box than in the open under a table which is what she normally does in stasis

She's sitting in her sick corner, looking rather sorry for herself. She's allowing head strokes (very odd) and is refusing any thing that provides heat... as in she will move away from it.

Poor Daphne :( I hope she starts to feel a lot better soon.

I'm afraid I haven't any ideas about the behaviour. I hope someone can help.

Sending you lots of hugs.
 
I don't feel confident answering your EC question but sending millions of vibes for your baby girl. She does look sad xx
 
Just have another 8ml/10ml roughly... at least 2ml dribbled out. She refused water.

She's been burping or hiccuping a little bit. Not 100% sure which.

She looks worse than her worst stasis episode.
